Designer Profile: Daniel Palillo


Daniel Palillo is a Helsinki-based fashion designer with a penchant for the monstrous and the symbolic. In a world of his own, Palillo has explored oversized silhouettes, anthropomorphic motives and three-dimensional structures throughout the eponymous label’s collections since 2006. Palillo’s signature techniques include the use of patchworks, cutouts and pencil graphics. To him, clothes essentially appear as canvases. He creates them like he was writing a diary, or a storyboard: painting a picture of everyday lived experiences in a sequence of garments, continuing from one season to the next. Working in a spontaneous manner, Palillo is said to design approximately three pieces of clothing per day. The Daniel Palillo label is sold in selected shops around the world. It has recently been featured in media such as Vogue, I.D., Elle, WAD Magazine, VICE, and The Fader and spotted on celebrities from Lady Gaga to Santigold, Jessie Jay and Noel Fielding.
